Comments	P.59 left column 2nd paragraph: "Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction: The nerve terminal at the Drosophila NMJ (FIG. 2) contains ~84,000 quanta, 14–19% of which constitute the recycling pool [primary source]. A rapidly depleted component of release (RRP [readily releasable pool]) was observed, with a size of ~300 quanta [primary source]."
